Water Use Behavior of Individual Birds: Ring Ouzels in an Arid High‐Mountain Ecosystem

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Water is a limiting resource for birds in arid ecosystems. Individual birds differ strongly in how they use shared water sources, with drinking behavior increasing with temperature. Behavioral differences, hierarchy, and social context ultimately shape unequal access to water within the population. ABSTRACT Water availability strongly constrains animal

Evaluation of Relative Abundance Techniques (RATs) for Monitoring Rodent Abundance and Predicting Rodent Damage in Rice Agroecosystems

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Among the different relative abundance techniques, giving‐up density (GUD) indices during the early and maximum tillering stages of rice development, and burrow counts during post‐harvest showed the highest correlation with cumulative tiller damage caused by rodents.

Quantitative Dual‐Energy CT Perfusion Versus SPECT/CT V/Q Scintigraphy for Preoperative Lung Function Assessment: A Prospective Cohort Study

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Accurate preoperative physiological assessment is critical for high‐risk patients undergoing lung resection to predict postoperative lung function. This study compared quantitative dual‐energy CT (DECT) perfusion with SPECT/CT for lobar perfusion mapping in an at‐risk oncological cohort.

Late Antique Allāh: Ancestral Arabian Religion and the Monotheistic Zeitgeist

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This essay addresses the ongoing scholarly tension between the monotheistic interpretations of late pre‐Islamic Arabian religion, pioneered by G. Hawting and P. Crone, and the traditional accounts of rampant Arabian polytheism found in later Islamic literary sources.

Running towards: Labour market incentives for runaway slaves in the British Cape Colony, 1830–1838

Asia‐Pacific Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent scholarship on slave escapes has increasingly emphasised economic motivation, but few studies have empirically investigated how market incentives influenced the decision‐making of enslaved individuals during transitions from coerced to wage labour.

The dual crisis: Climate change simultaneously drives pollinator decline and pest outbreaks

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Climate change acts as an asymmetric ecological filter, favouring r‐selected pest traits (rapid reproduction, generalism) while disadvantaging K‐selected pollinators. For every 1°C of warming, bee species richness declines ~25% since the 1990s, while pest‐induced crop losses increase by 10%–25%. A network‐centric approach integrating climate‐responsive
